Marissa Meyer’s Writing Process

Marissa
Meyer, author of Cinder, has posted
her writing process from idea to finished book.

She
describes in detail such things as outlining, using Scrivener (I still use
Word), how to take criticism from beta readers, and the publisher’s editorial
process. Her first installment is here. Her overall blog is here.

I
met Marissa Meyer last year when she spoke at the Bothell Library. Instead of
simply reading from a manuscript, she regaled us with older versions of fairy
stories, as I described in my blog post.

So
if you hear that Marissa Meyer is speaking in your area, be sure to go see her!
